Three post-doctoral positions are available in the Georgia Tech School of Psychology (Atlanta, GA). Prospective hires will join a research team headed by Chris Rorden and the new GSU/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging with its Siemens 3T Trio scanner. The lab focuses on language and spatial perception and the consequences of brain injury. This research relies on a range of methodologies such as functional MRI, lesion-symptom mapping, and trancranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The center is centrally located in Atlanta. Although the start date for each of the three positions is set for 8/2009, an earlier or later start date is negotiable. Salaries will be commensurate with experience and previous scholarship. The ideal applicants for these positions will work as part of a research team as well as have a chance to initiate and carry out independent projects.For more details, please download the posting (PDF).
Quantitative Psychology: We seek an individual for a tenure track position at the assistant professor level to complement expertise in our Quantitative Psychology Program. Our preference is for quantitative psychologists interested in both (1) creating and elucidating statistical methods and (2) applying (perhaps in collaboration with others) these methods to address relevant hypotheses in psychological research. We will consider persons whose statistical expertise is relevant to a range of research topics, including mixed or multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, Bayesian statistics and methods for analyzing incomplete and missing data. A range of substantive research applications will also be considered, including interests in I/O Psychology, Engineering Psychology, Cognitive Aging, and Cognition and Brain Science. Applicants should show evidence of outstanding research and teaching potential. Successful applicants will be expected to establish/maintain an independent program of research that can attract extramural support, to supervise and mentor graduate students, and to teach graduate and undergraduate courses. Applicants should send statements describing their research program and teaching interests, a CV, one or two representative reprints/preprints, and three letters of recommendation to the address below. Salary and start-up funds will be commensurate with experience and are highly competitive. Address applications to Quantitative Psychology Search Committee. Applications received before December 15, 2009 will receive first consideration, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
